The pandemic not only brings changes in private life, we can also prepare for developments professionally, according to an evaluation by the portal Salary.de, in 2021. Because in addition to the widespread home office, we could soon get a taste of completely new areas. Three fields have proven to be particularly lucrative and safe.

2021. Most people are probably hoping for a new beginning and a prospect of a year that is as pandemic-free as possible. But while the necessary measures continue to restrict our everyday life, new gates may open up professionally for one or the other. The lockdown will definitely leave its mark. This affects on the one hand our emotions, our emotional life and our general habits, on the other hand it also affects the economy. At the moment, from a professional point of view, flexibility is the key to success. A degree is not a prerequisite for a steady job, as the crisis has already shown many people.

Are you planning your professional future? With these four fields of work you are currently making the best choice.

1. Cloud architects

Home office is on everyone's lips. But after Corona, work from home will probably continue to accompany us. It is efficient and saves time, money and resources. A key reason for companies to have access to external servers in order to be able to network the entire team flexibly.

So-called cloud architects manage precisely these servers – and will probably be needed more than ever in the future. The gross annual salary is just under 65,000 euros – One therefore does not have to deal with existential worries and feared unemployment. If that's not an incentive …

2. E-Commerce Managers

Strolling comfortably in the city and doing the shopping with your best friend is no longer possible. The result: You order pretty much everything online, apart from groceries. E-commerce manager with an annual gross salary of just under 40,000 euros are therefore desperately wanted.

Performance marketing managers can also lean back and relax in 2021 – at least when it comes to future prospects. Advertising, advertisements and the like have become indispensable for companies. With an annual gross salary of 50,000 euros you are also financially secure.

3. Virologists and Nurses

Who would have thought that? A very obvious winner of the current crisis situation is primarily virologists who continue to research the corona virus. Your gross annual salary is around 62,000 euros. In addition, there is an urgent need for nurses specializing in ventilation and intensive care. The enormously high demand can also mean that caregivers will have more say in salary and working hours in the future. A desirable aspect of this important work. Nurses earn around the 44,000 euros gross in the year.

4. Game developers and food technicians

The gaming industry is booming – alternative activities such as going to cinemas, restaurants or other employment opportunities are currently no longer available.

It is not only online games that are showing increasing numbers. Board games of all kinds are also experiencing an upswing that is reminiscent of times before digitization – a very nice side aspect of lockdown. The future looks bright for a game developer. The merit is something 42,700 euros gross in the year.

Flexibility, openness and curiosity will pay off in 2021. Therefore: Keep your eyes and ears open and be ready to broaden your horizons.
